The Wajabaati General Terms and Conditions are incorporated into and are made a part of the Wajabaati platform Order Form. The “Order Form” and these “General Terms”, collectively form the “Agreement”.
This “Agreement” shall begin from the effective date mentioned, unless terminated earlier, under the provision provided below, shall continue for a period of one year from the effective date and shall be automatically renewed every successive year, a per the “Renewal Term”. This “Agreement” may be terminated by either party, in case of a material breach by the other party and if the breach is not solved within two days of notice given by the non-breaching party. Either party may terminate this “Agreement” in its entirety at any time without cause by giving seven (7) days’ prior written notice of termination to the other party. Sections 1, 4.2, 4.3, 5 (for the time period specified), 6-10, and the last sentence of this Section 2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereby grants to the other party (and, in the case of Company, to its affiliates) a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license during the Term to use the such party’s respective Marks (as defined below), on a royalty-free basis, for the sole purpose of performing the promotional activities as set forth in an applicable Order Form. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Marks” will mean the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, logos, slogans and other identifying symbols and indicia of the applicable party. All users of a party’s marks by the other party will be in the form and format specified or approved by the owner of such marks. Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party will use the other party’s marks without the prior, express, written consent of the other party (by email is sufficient).
Any development activities relating to any technology, content, media or other intellectual property must be done only through a separate written agreement between Wajabaati and the restaurant/service provider, before the beginning of any such activities.
“Confidential Information” means any confidential, proprietary or other non-public information disclosed by one party (the “Discloser”) to the other party (the “Recipient”) whether disclosed verbally or in writing. Confidential Information will not include that information that (a) was previously known to the Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality; (b) was acquired by the Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality from a third party with the right to make such disclosure; or (c) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Recipient.
Each Recipient will ensure that Confidential Information will only be made available to those of its employees and agents who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by written obligations of confidentiality before such individual has access to the Discloser’s Confidential Information. Each Recipient will not, and will not authorize others to remove, overprint or deface any notice of copyright, trademark, logo, legend, or other notices of ownership from any originals or copies of the Discloser’s Confidential Information. The foregoing prohibition on disclosure of Confidential Information will not apply if the Discloser has authorized such disclosure, nor if a Recipient is required to disclose certain Confidential Information of the Discloser as a matter of law or by order of a court, provided that the Recipient gives the Discloser prior written notice of such obligation to disclose and reasonably assist in obtaining a protective order prior to making such disclosure. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement and as requested by a Discloser, each Recipient will deliver to the Discloser (or destroy at the Discloser’s election) any and all materials or documents containing the Discloser’s Confidential Information, together with all copies thereof in whatever form.

Each party hereby represents and warrants that: (a) it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder; (b) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its origin; (c) it has not entered into, and during the Term will not enter into, any agreement that would prevent it from complying with or performing under this Agreement; (d) it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in its performance of this Agreement (including without limitation all applicable data protection and privacy laws); and (e) the content, media and other materials used or provided as part of this Agreement shall not infringe or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or other proprietary rights of any third party.
Except as set forth herein, each party makes no representations, and hereby expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, regarding its services or products or any portion thereof, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and implied warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.
Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively, “Losses”) with respect to any third party claim arising out of or related to: (a) the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party and its employees or agents in their performance of this Agreement; (b) any claims that the Indemnifying Party breached its representations and warranties in this Agreement; or (c) any claims that the Indemnifying Party’s Marks infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, as long as such Marks have been used in the manner approved by the Indemnifying Party. In addition, you will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses with respect to any third party claim arising out of or related to any harm resulting from your violation or alleged violation of any applicable retail food or other health and safety code, rule or regulation, except to the extent such harm was directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Company or its employees, agents or Delivery Partners. Each Indemnified Party shall provide prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party of any potential claim subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party will assume the defense of the claim through counsel designated by it and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise any claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of a claim, at Indemnifying Party’s expense.
Except for a party’s indemnification obligations or a breach of confidentiality, (a) in no event shall either party be liable for any claim for any indirect, willful, punitive, incidental, exemplary, special or consequential damages, for loss of business profits, or damages for loss of business of restaurant or any third party arising out of this agreement, or loss or inaccuracy of data of any kind, whether based on contract, tort or any other legal theory, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) each party’s total cumulative liability of each and every kind under this agreement shall not exceed AED 100,000. The foregoing limitation of liability and exclusion of certain damages shall apply regardless of the success or effectiveness of other remedies.
Except as may be expressly agreed by the parties in writing, neither party may issue a press release or otherwise refer to the other party in any manner with respect to this Agreement or otherwise, without the prior written consent of such other party.

The affected party will promptly notify the other party upon becoming aware that any Major Force has occurred or is likely to occur and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any resulting delay in or interference with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
